About Bhutan
Bhutan is a country in south-central Asia located on the Himalayan’s eastern slopes. Bhutan, which had previously been a distant kingdom, became less isolated in the second part of the 20th century, and the pace of change began to intensify.

What’s Guests Say
Some of the wonderful and best feedbacks provided by Druk Heritage Customers.
Got back home last evening after a wonderful holiday. Everything was so well organised and we were looked after with such care and consideration.
I particularly want to mention RK and Khandu who were both exceptional. We only had to mention something we wanted and RK would make sure we got whatever we desired, whether it was to eat roasted corn and momos on the side of the road or to look for a takin toy for our grandson! He made sure we got to see everything while also adjusting the schedule so we weren't tired!
Khandu was a great driver and we felt really safe on the mountain roads with him. The vehicle was clean and well maintained.
The hotels were all very well located and the rooms were spacious. The Lobesa in Punakha was probably our favourite in terms of the location, food and service.
The Kaachi Grand staff really went out of their way to see to our needs.
The Norkhil rooms had spectacular views!
All in all, this will go down on as one of our favourite holidays and we hope to visit your beautiful country again. We will definitely be recommending your agency to our friends and family!
Hope to see you and Singye in Bangalore soon.
Also,Tula, the guide in the mountains, was extremely professional and nice. He really helped us up the mountain without any problems or mountain illness by telling us to go slowly.
On top, the lady of the farm stay (Ngawang Choki) in Paro was (as last time) very genuine. Her farm is beautiful and in the same state as many years ago. I would highly recommend you to use her more for other guests if they want to experience a real authentic hot stone bath and dinner.
And of course , the monastery stay was a very special moment for us all.
In short… THANKS!!!! All the best and I will contact you again when I come back to Bhutan 🙂

As you might have heard from Singye or seen on Instagram, we originally learned about Druk Heritage Tours through Ross OC Jennings and his thefirstpiper account when he visited with you all several years ago. Bhutan had been on my list, but it took some time before I felt I had the ability to make such a long journey. When I needed to decide on a company to work with, you were the first I looked up because I had seen your work through his account. It took several years to convert that view into a booking, but it got us to you in the end! In turn, we are certainly recommending you to all the folks we tell about our trip.
I would like to reiterate our appreciation for the guiding skills of Kuenzang. We twice had other groups try to poach him on the spot, they were so impressed with his guidance! His exceptional knowledge of the history of each of the places we visited, the intricacies of the marvellous Buddhist art, and his general friendliness were appreciated every day. I know he does these tours almost every single week, but it still felt like we were on a very personalized tour and not yet-another-round of the same tourist route.
Thank you for the hot stone bath after the Paro Taktsang climb - it was sorely needed! And also for the cultural show on the last day - it was one of our favorite elements of the whole trip, and a wonderful way to conclude the trip. One small piece of advice I might share is to prepare guests in advance for an occasion like that where a significant gratuity may be in order - as it was the last activity on the last day and we had not known the show was coming up, we were running low on cash and also we had no idea how much was appropriate for the 10 performers. We gave over all the cash we had left - Kuenzang said it was fine - but we are not certain it was enough. We just want to show proper respect to the wonderful performers.
We are telling everyone now how our trip to Bhutan was the trip of a lifetime. Thank you all for making it happen for us! Kadinchey la!
We deeply appreciate your wonderful work and the extra effort you put in to make this a truly special experience. It has been a pleasure working with all of you. Thank you for being so receptive to our feedback; it was greatly appreciated.

Moments That Linger: Experiences in Bhutan
Bhutan is a place that stays with you long after the photos are taken, in quiet moments that touch your heart. At Druk Heritage, we invite you to slow down and experience it fully.
